衡建筑 | YA咖啡

YA 咖啡店位于老住宅区一条巷弄中。从地铁站云锦路出站，穿过茶南农广贸市场再往东走一点就到了YA所在的位置，霎时就从闹市中抽离出来回到安静的街区。区域的街巷构成很有坊市的味道，三两栋住宅楼环抱成一个组团，分散在主街两侧，而旁支小巷如同毛细血管般组织起组团间的连接。住宅临街店铺完全服务起老邻居们的日常需求，烟火巷弄，人气不断，往来者众。

YA Coffee Shop is located in an alley in the old residential area. The YA Coffee shop is just a little further east from Yunjin Road, the subway station, through the Channannong Market. It was like being removed from the busy streets and returning to a quiet neighborhood. The streets and alleys in the area have a sense of neighborhood and market： a group of three or two residential buildings are surrounded by one another, scattered on both sides of the main street, while side alleys are like capillaries to organize the connections between the groups. The storefront fully caters to the daily needs of the old neighbors. There’s a lot of people coming and going.

咖啡店主是刚从美国回来的心理学硕士，回国后有了在老巷弄里开家街边咖啡店的想法。初衷就是开一家像早餐铺子似的随手小店，习以为常但不可或缺，像曾在国外时感受的那样。店主叙述表达的场景与我们在米兰的生活经验相似，也与我们在街巷介入时的理念相合。

The owner of the cafe was a psychology master who had just returned from the United States and had the idea to open a street coffee shop in an old alley. The original intention was to open a casual shop like a breakfast shop, very common but indispensable, as he had felt when he was abroad. The scene narrated by the owner is similar to our experience of living in Milan, and also corresponds to the concept of our intervention in the streets.

咖啡店面积较小，设计也尽可能在小尺度上操作，引导使用者找到舒适的距离。平面上，我们将空间划分为四个部分：岛台与点餐区位于中央，操作区与落座区分布在两侧。

Because the coffee shop is small, it is designed to operate on as small a scale as possible to guide users to a comfortable distance. On the plan, we divided the space into four parts： the island and ordering area are located in the center, and the operation area and sitting area are distributed on the two sides.

空间纵向较高，因此室内用不同材料分割：地面到岛台的高度采用白色的洞石，低处收边尽可能利落和厚重；洞石至天花使用磨砂亚克力板覆盖，每块板材由金属挂件固定，以2.5cm的等差逐层向前突出，层板如同空间门口的行道树一般，向上生长。

The space is high longitudinally, so the interior is divided with different materials： white cave stone is used from the ground to the island, and the lower edges are closed as neatly and thickly as possible. The section from the cave stone to the ceiling is covered with frosted acrylic sheets, each of which is fixed by metal pendants and protrudes forward layer by layer with an equal difference of 2.5cm. They grow upward like street trees at the doorway of space.

YA的设计始于夏天，适时门前行道树郁郁葱葱，有了让坐在店内的人抬头就可以看见一颗完整的树的想法。于是咖啡店的立面稍稍后退，为景观留足观察距离，同时也在平面上空出一个有雨篷遮蔽的室外区用于外摆小坐和窗口服务。

The design of YA Coffee Shop started in the summer, when the street is green with trees. We had the idea that people sitting in the store could look up and see a whole tree. So the facade of the coffee shop is slightly receded to allow for more viewing distance, while also creating an outdoor area covered by an awning above the plan for seating and window services.

▲门把手

立面全部使用玻璃，门扇与固定窗为超白玻，门上亮窗为长虹玻璃。由H型钢构成的框架连接固定玻璃，并伸出小悬臂支撑长方体灯箱。

Facade uses glass entirely, door and fixed window use ultra white glass, bright window on the door uses changhong glass. A frame made of H-shaped steel connects the fixed glass and extends a small cantilever to support the rectangular light box.

在探查场地时收获了图纸呈现之外的信息，两户老邻居还在咖啡店背后的院子中生活，夏季常在院中两棵枇杷树下纳凉。顺着这个预期外的线索，我们深化了咖啡店墙面亚克力的形式。

When we explored the site, we learned more than the drawings. The two old neighbors still live in the courtyard behind the coffee shop, and often enjoy the cool under the two loquat trees in the courtyard in summer. Following this unexpected clue, we deepened the acrylic form of the coffee shop wall.

对入口正对墙面的亚克力板排列做出了变化，正中不再由亚克力板覆盖而露出白色的墙面，并在室内能见到枇杷树的高度开了一扇圆窗，将这抹绿意引入室内。圆窗与天花圆形灯膜相呼应。同时，洞口也使得街面与庭院在视线上贯通。

The arrangement of acrylic panels facing the wall at the entrance has been changed： the center is no longer covered by acrylic panels, but the white wall is exposed. In addition, a round window was opened at the height of the wall where one could see the loquat trees, bringing the green idea into the room. Round Windows and the membrane of the round lamp on the ceiling echo. At the same time, the entrance of the cave allows the street level to be connected with the courtyard in the view.

▲傍晚外立面

每当暮色四合，灯光将人群吸引进来，围坐墙边像是一个小剧场。店主制作咖啡，与顾客交谈，都成了发生在街巷的生活舞台剧。我们希望所有从Ya路过的行人都能从这扇连通自然的窗户中短暂地忘掉生活的烦恼，拉近被疫情疏远了的邻里距离。

As dusk closes in, the lights draw in the crowd, and the scene of people sitting around the walls is like a small theater. Shop owners making coffee, talking to customers, all become a life drama in the streets. We hope that all pedestrians passing by Ya Coffee Shop can briefly forget the troubles of life from this window connected to nature, and close the distance between neighbors alienated by the epidemic.
